Ministry and Prayer Go Together

We have fallen into the temptation of separating ministry from spirituality, service from prayer. Our demon says: "We are too busy to pray; we have too many needs to attend to, too many people to respond to, too many wounds to heal. Prayer is a luxury, something to do during a free hour, a day away from work or on a retreat. ... But to think this way is harmful. ... Service and prayer can never be separated; they are related to each other as the Yin and Yang of the [Chinese] Circle.
